Bible Note: Greetings Joe! You asked: "On whose behalf did Christ die and rise again? For all human beings past, present, and future? Or for all "those that live"?" Look at the verses in question. The phrase 'so that' begins a purpose clause explaining why He died, not identifying for whom He died. Well, we could go on and on with this! :-) So, I guess we'll have to stop for now. As always, the readers will have to decide for themselves from the positions we have advanced. On a personal note, how are your twins doing? My granddaughter is already starting to walk and she is only 8 months old! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
